Kick Out

decimals · estimating sums and differences of decimals

To estimate sums and differences of decimals [5.NBT.A.4].

Kick Out is a Grade 5 decimal-estimation game for sums and differences. Students roll dice to select a problem on a game board, estimate the decimal result, and cover the square that matches their estimate. Progress depends on recognizing a reasonable answer rather than carrying out every calculation exactly, keeping the focus on magnitude and place value.

Use it for partner practice when students are learning to estimate decimal addition and subtraction. The board format gives students repeated opportunities to judge whether an answer is sensible and compare estimation strategies.
